On 12th March 2013 three of us met up in rain and sleet with the aim of seeing what was about in an early and rather wintery spring.
We were expecting to see a few lichen and weren't disappointed.
Note the white, blister-like structures on the underside of the "leaves".
The leaves seem to be oak but the trunk perhaps something else?
Another lichen - should know what this is as it's all over Skye.
Some of the lichen had a dull red colour.
The primroses were out despite the harsh weather.
A moss which again I should know the name of.
Lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria)
Isleornsay (I think).
Coming in sight of the Scottish mainland across the Sound of Sleat.
Beinn Sgritheall (pronounced Ben Skreehell) (3045 feet - making it a Munro).
A flock of wigeon on Loch na Dal
